shapes of trem

Post by comesect2.0 »

So let me recommend looking at Copilot Polypus, his pedals are sick and the wave shapes are fantastic. It also does CV in and has a sequencer (the supreme).

I just finished my 7 knob Tremulus Lune, modified to have a smooth and symmetry knob as well as a space knob, allowing you to tweak the shape of the wave. It's not ideal, but it's very unique.. you can get ramp up, down, square, triangle, and then everything in between. It's an analog trem so it thumps a little in super choppy Gristleizer square mode, but it's certainly far more lush than the Gristleizer.

There's a PCB Steve from Small Bear sells called the tremulous bear, and it has separate speed knobs for each half of the wave.. It's very unique as well. It has a bias knob similar to the Gristleizer , but it definitely does not have incredible gain like that..

I dunno, the twin stags gives me a boner too

Yes I know the graphics are bad :)*

The depth and shape knob of the Moog MF Trem work together to make very unusual shapes.

The Drolo Twin Peaks is a great trem with a bunch of different wave shapes.

Solidgold Stutterbox, Catalinbread Semaphore are both super tweakable, multiple waveforms and rhythms

The Liquid tremolo is pretty tweakable and sounds superb. If it was a US-based company I bet we'd hear more about it. I dunno'.

Came here to say Tremotron too. The textures that come out of that thing are insane.

Tremotron is super fantastic as a trem but I had volume drop issues and went through three of them before I bailed. Maybe they've fixed the issue. It's tough with stacked board pedals some times that do so much.

Alexander Equilibrium has a waveform knob that can get some cool ramping effects in the inbetween settings.

watched videos on all that was mentioned above, thank you all for the suggestions... still looking for the certain short chop you get on the lfo auto 2 setting of the judder...guess it boils down to a tremolo with long volume drops to super short pings.

I built a Twin Peaks back when David was selling PCBs. Great pedal! Particularly enjoy the harmonic tremolo.

With the symmetry knob you can tweak how long or short the chops become.
